Jessie Lilley (editor) is most disappointed that she's not been plagiarized by a certain British publisher. It's nice to know her stuff is intact, but she won't be able to cash out when the shit hits the legal fan. Former partner Ron Garmon may have a shot at it though! Jessie is also the original publisher of Scarlet Street, the magazine of Mystery and Horror. Noting at some point that there was more to life than Sherlock Holmes and monsters, she moved on to publish the now much accredited magazine, Worldly Remains. Jessie writes Entertainment Criticism and Political Commentary. She's very happy to have a free hand at film reviewing for Perth's Anglican Messenger. Writing from her lower extremities is what she loves best. Jessie lives in North Hollywood with 4 cats, a carton of smokes and many cans of beer.- photo credit: Terry Wagner |

| Desert native Zach Selwyn (writer), a.ka. Zachariah, began making music when he recorded a seven-song hip-hop EP in 2000. After being robbed in the studio, he returned to his original roots, and began writing and recording California country-rock that echoed the sounds of the Eagles and Flying Burrito Brothers, but incorporated his hip-hop influences in several songs, which created a genre he refers to as "honky-tonk freestyle." His on stage free-styling and sold-out live shows led director Matt Leutwyler to cast Zachariah in the comedy-horror film Dead and Breakfast in 2003. Recently, Zachariah has been chosen from over 10,000 hopefuls to be one of the twelve finalists on ESPN's new TV show Dream Job. He has also appeared on Dragnet, Chicago Hope and Sabrina. His first full length EP Ghost Signs is available on Papago Records and can be found at CD Baby. Reach Zachariah through his website Zachariah Music. | |
